Weeding Out the Wrong Kind of Women

We’ve all heard the stories about how people have misrepresented themselves on dating websites by posting out-of-date photos that don’t reflect what the person looks like anymore, or by fudging on age or other factors.

We want to find people to date that are honest, and we don’t want to get unpleasant surprises when we find out that the woman we’ve been exchanging messages with is really ten years older, and her photo is from twelve years ago, before her hair went completely gray (not that there’s anything wrong with gray hair)!

What’s the cut-off for fudging on a profile anyway? Is it acceptable for her to report that she weighs 120 lbs when she really weighs 135 lbs? Is it okay for her to omit information like the fact that she has tattoos from head to toe? How do we weed out the women who are being less than honest with us?

First, it’s not uncommon for people, both men and women, to conveniently forget that they gained ten pounds over the holidays, or that they had a birthday six months ago. That doesn’t necessarily make it right, though.

You’re the only person who can decide if any misleading information is grounds for kicking someone to the curb, or if certain misrepresentations are considered outright purposeful dishonesty. If you’re trying to weed the wrong kinds of women out of your dating pool, then here’s what you should do:

Good women are out there, and they’re willing to be upfront about themselves. They may want to put the accent on their good traits (that’s just normal) but they won’t misrepresent themselves just to get a date, and neither should you.
